Program Format
Online Learning Modules
- Each of the four modules in the Advanced Keystone program has been developed and will be facilitated by leaders in Simulation.
- In each module, there will be two sessions of online learning combining content, videos, podcasts, online discussion, and related readings that will prepare you for the live sessions.
- The live sessions will be facilitated by the Advanced Keystone faculty team.
- Sessions are recorded and not mandatory.
Final Project
- Learners will be paired with expert coaches to explore topics related to their projects.
- After identifying an area for simulation enhancement or a problem of practice related to the learner’s simulation work, the learner will be required to complete a 10-20 minute teaching webinar (pre-recorded or live) on a topic of interest that advances simulation from the modules in the Advanced Keystone program along with a written executive summary. (500 Min/750 word max). Teaching webinars will be live and offered for Canada’s simulation community. Teaching webinars will be recorded and made available in a program repository. This work is completed between weeks 12 -20 of the program.
- A virtual poster can be submitted on their chosen project topic for consideration at the SIM Expo.
Time commitment: Weeks 1-10 = 35 hrs online with some live online sessions. Flexible completion for the project work weeks.
